I would support Pegasus to come out a better Pascal than Orca/Pascal. But
Pegasus Pascal is NOT Pascal unfortunately IMHO. I have programmed in more
than 10 languages, and have not seen something like "delimination by
indentation"! I have Pegasus Pascal is just an extension to Orca/Pascal,
like extend its object oriented concept, etc instead of trying to be a new
language.
